CUNNINGHAM, of Zelien ople, we are pleased to see it stated, has been appointed surgeon on the Pittsburgh & Western railroad for that locality. The appointment is a good one A BEBIOCB responsibility rests with thf members of the two tickets. Re publican success or failure is in their keeping. The proposition that' both sets of candidates permanently retire, while it calls for a greater personal sacrifice, is the fairest to both factions of the party and is tty only one that would result in unity. At the same time the proposition submitted by the State Committee should be accepted and a new convention called, rather than perpetuate division, in the hope that a new and representative Repub lican, whose practices have been be yond accusation, and who has not in curred the displeasure of any element of the party, might be selected to head the ticket and lead the fight, not against other Republicans, but against the Democracy.— Mercer Republican. SENATOR Cameron is reported as saving be should no longer entertain auy propositions for compromise from the Independents. It has been pretty generally believed that it was tbe State Committee that was authorized &o .negotiate for an adjustment of pres ent troubles. He say« he will regard the Independents as his bitterest foes from this on. In this tbe Senator shows a correct appreciation of their position toward bim. But where Senator Cum eroureceived power to say when nego tiations should close is unknown. Tbe truth is patent that he is figuring, not for Republican success, but to prolong his individual prestige in tbe State. Realizing that a new Convention and a new ticket would unite the party by ignoring tiiui as tbe supreme power in tbe State, be is desperately opposed to such a result.— Mercer Republican. THE Pittsburgh Leader reports an interview with Hon. S. II Miller, pub lished in the New York Herald, in which he says: "I think that every effort should be put forth by what is called tbe regular Republican organiza tion to harmonize the difficulties exist ing in the party between that wing and the Independents. And if the In dependent organization—and I include in this tbe candidates and tbe people who are supporting them—should re fuse to harmonize on any other terms than that all tbe candidates put in nomination by tbe May Convention and also by the Independent Convention should be withdrawn and a new con vention held, where none of tbe now nominated candidates should be aspir ants for renomination, the regular organization should consider the proposition with great care and, to my miad, should entertain it favorably." Tbe Republican Conferees of the Senatorial district of Beaver and Wash ington counties have made several ef forts to nominate a candidate for State Senate, but so far have failed. Beaver county is entitled to the csndidate by rotation, and has presented as her choice Franklin H. Agnew, Esq. a son of Judge Agnew. Report says that Don Cameron and some of his hench men are interfering to prevent Wash ington county from yielding the nom ination, as she should do, and that it is intimated that whenever Mr. Agnew pledges himself to vote for Cameron's re-election to the United States Senate he can be nominated. This of course Mr. Agnew will never do. There is no stronger opponent of Cameronism in the State than his distinguished father, Judge Agnew. As the Eagle of this place has recently taken a great interest in Judge Aguew, it would be interesting to have its views upon this Beaver and Washington case. Speak out Thomas and let us hear from you. AROUND AIiOUT US. The Republican papers in tbe Western counties of the State are divided on tbe present question or trouble in tbe party, some taking one side and some tbe other. In Beayer county, one of tbe old papers is supporting the Inde pendent Republican State ticket and one the Regular ticket. Two other Independent Republican journals are also favoring the Inde|>endent or anti- Cameron cause. In Lawrence county, two of the three Republican papers are supporting tbe Independent ticket. In Mercer connty, one of the papers at the county seat supportfi the Begular ticket while tbe otber inclines t) the In dependent cause. In Crawford county ( one of tbe old organs at Meadville sup ports the Indepenuent cause and State ticket, and the other the Begular State ticket. In Venango county, one sup p>rts the Regular and one inclines to the Independeut. In Armstrong coun ty both papers support the Regular ticket. In nearly every county of the State we believe there is a difference of sentiment among the papers on tbe two tickets now in the field. Tbe question that divides all of them is, 0 ameron and anti-Cameron. < A TROUBLED SPIRIT. The case of the "Senior editor'' of the Eagle is indeed a sad one. His righteous and honest soul is agaid troubled. Things political have again gone wrong with him, and again he is 1 tormented. The Republican party of the county could stand it, but he could not. He should, by this time, have learned to bear his defeats, and to yield to the will of the majority, as ex pressed at the primaries, with becoming grace and composure. By kicking, growling, snapping and complaining now he only brings the more to public notice the fact that he feels "hurt,'' be cause that he was "left." But it is the old adage, of "the pig under the gate that squeals." Ever since the late Republican primary election he has been attacking this one or that one. In the first issue of the paper he con trols it was" a growl and a complaint about the Chairman of the County Committee, Mr. Walker. This was permitted to be passed without notice. Then in the next issue, under the pre text of making the customary reference to the nominees of our county, which he had failod to do the previous week, he did so in a covert, disparaging manner, evidently intended to injure them. Against Mr. Braham particularly he revived the matter of his vote in the Legislature for Mr. Grow for United States Senator, as against Mr. Oliver, Cameron's man. In this he forgot en tirely that one of the candidates on the Regular State ticket, which be has at the head of the Eagle, did precisely the same thing that Mr. Braham did. William T. Davies, nominee for Lieu tenant Governor, then in the State Senate, voted with and like Mr. Bra ham on that question all through that contest. How does the "Senior editor" of the Eagle reconcile this glaring in consistency ? If he is candid and sin cere, and not hypocritical, as to that vote, he should add the name of Mr. Davies to his list of "disorganizes," and call upon the people not to "place a premium" on such conduct by voting for bim. But the truth is that if a vote of the Republicans of this county was now taken on that vote of Mr. Braham, and Mr. Davies as well, it would be approved by nine-tenths, or more, of the party this county All this, however, we let pass unnoticed at the time. Then in the next issue of the Eagle he revives his charges against Mr. Walker, Chairman of the County Committee. This also was again per mitted to pass, not noticed. But final ly be grows more bold and, instead of taking the hint given by our sileuce ( makes a charge against the "Senior editor" of this paper. The charge is that in publishing a certain recent let ter of the Hon. Daniel Agnew we "gar bled" and "distorted" it, etc. Without stopping to correct his idea of "gar bling," a brief statement will show how little truth there is in the matter and how he attempts to make some thing oat of nothing. As is well known, Judge Agnew's name was before the Independent State Convention, of May 24, for Governor. Shortly after that Conven tion he had occasion to write a letter to the Philadelphia Eveninci Tele graph, in reply to some criticisms it had made on his political views. In this letter he refers, in the introduc tory part of it, to a former one he wrote, in 1878, denouncing bossism and "Hoyt, Cameron & Co. He then goes on and gives his views of the present Independent movement aspub lished in the CITIZEN week before last. We never heard of or saw the full, en* tire letter, until we saw it in the Eagle of this place, and circumstances made us then doubt its being genuine. However, in a few days we saw the main portion of it going the rounds of papers now called Stalwart or Regular, and about the same time we received from Thomas V. Cooper, Chairman of the Regular State Committee, this same main portion of the letter with a request to publish it. This wo did, taking it from the Greenville, Pa., Advance-Argun, which we preferred, and which is the same as sent us by Cooper, except the heading, and the same as again appeared in the Eagle last week. Now the whole matter is, that these two henchmen, Thomas Cooper and Thomas Robinson don't seem to understand one another. If there is any "garbling" in the matter Tom Cooper is the guilty party, and lo him we refer the innocent but honest senior editor of the Eagle. We have it jet just as Cooper sent it and it can be seen by any one. It is the same as was generally published, and we suppose the first or introductory part was dropped simply because it was not the "pith and sense of the letter," but beause it was mainly introductory to what followed. We had uo object or desire to withhold any part of it and thought we were giving what was most desired. But the "Senior editor" ol the Eagle siezes upon it as an attempt to "garble" and do injustice to Judge Agnew. And this, too, the same Judge Agnew whom he, with other Cameron henchmen,struck down four years ago, 1878, by defeating his re-nomination for Judge of the I Supreme Court. The writer of this | was in that State Convention and la bored aud voted for the re-nomination of Judge Agnew. The senior editor of the Eagle, who in feigned phrases is now commending him, was then ob jecting to him on the ground that he was "too old" to be continued on the Bench. Judge Agnew knows who are his friends and we have good rea son for saying he knows the senior ed- j itor of the Eagle has not been one of j Citi****: iStxtbec, fi«., 3uUt 26, 1882. them. And we have further reason to know that be is not now supporting all of the Harrisburg Convention ticket. Our conscience is easy as to our treat ment of his letter and ail other political matter, and when we want any lessons on political honesty we will not likely , apply to the senior editor of the Eajle. i We have so far given the proceedings and principal "utterances" of both wings of the Republican party as now in this State. Can lie say as much ? Not at all. We published the letters of Hons. George Lear and Thomas M Marshall on the political situation, as be admits; but did he do the saiuo.'' Bv no means. We published Gen. Beaver's speech, made after his nom ination, and Col. Stewart's, nude in Pittsburgh alter his nomina tion, but did he pnblifch the latter? By uo mean 3. He would lose his he id— post office bead—if he did that. e are a Ireeman, he is a henchman, and dare not publish what perhaps in some cases he would like to- While be is now so disinterestly supporting one of the State tickets on the ground of regularity, at the same time, in tbe same issues of the paper he controls, he is virtually opposing our county ticket, regularlv and fairly nominated. Out upon such inconsistency! Out upon such dishonesty! THE SITUATION The Independent Republican State Committee meets in Philadelphia to morrow, 27th inst. As this may be the last of the meetings of the State Committees, of the two wings of the Republican party, for some time to come, we sincerely hope the pending efforts for union will yet reach a con clusion. While the proposition of the candidates on tbe Independent ticket, made to the candidates on the Regular ticket, that both should entirely with draw, and net be candidates before a new convention, his not been accepted by tbe Regulars, and .vhile this course was the one that would have secured perfect harmony and peace, yet we think the Independent State Commit tee that meets to-morrow should now ac cept tbe third proposition, made on July 12, by the Regular Committee. This will secure a new convention, and that is the point we believe nine-tenths of the Republican party of this county —and of the State—most ardently de sire. As far as the Regular candi dates are concerned they are now at a disadvantage from the fact of their re fusing the offer to withdraw made to them by the Independent candidates. In place of accepting they shielded themselves behind their State Com mittee. But that was a question or mode of settlement by and among the candidates only, and that mode may now be considered as at an end. The other and remaining mode, to wit, a ynew primary and a new convention irrespective as to who may or may not be candidates, is another question and one for the Committees to act upon and determine. And, as we say, the meeting to-morrow will likely be the sole chance left for a new State Con vention. We hope it may conclude to accept the pending proposition. The people are to be trusted on all questions and at all times, and if a primary and a new convention are secured, before or by tbe time of the meeting of that new convention, things that now look difficult will have so worked themselves out that tbe ticket then nominated would likely heal all sores and secure success in November. Beaver and Cameron. General Beaver visited Bristol, Bucks county, on Thursday, July 18tti. The following incident of his visit and speech there is thus related : CAMERON A LITTLE MAN. General Beaver then told the crowd that he would be glad to answer any questions. There was silence. The General, after looking out on the sea of faces, was about resuming when a voice was heard in the crowd. It was that of Harold Peirce, son of a mem ber of the firm of C. \V J. Peirce, wealthy manufacturers of Bristol. "General," said he, "I shall not vote the Republican ticket, but will vote for the Independent candidates, unless I am satisfied that your administration will not be organized in the interest of Don Cameron." "That's a very fair question," said the General, "and I'll answer it. I said v, hen I was nominated that I had not made a pledge to a living man, and I say now that I cannot make any pledge. Why, what is one man ? That is the trouble with our Independ ents. They have magnified a little man into a big man, and think he fills the whole Republican party and the whole of this yreat State of Pennsyl vania Don Cameron, my friends, is not a big man, but a very little man [Great cheering. Heaver Revlae*. CAMERON A LITTE MAN—PHYSICALLY. [Local item in Philadelphia Evening Tele graph, July 20.] General Beaver's idea of a man over eix feet in height is that he is not "a big man but a little man." At least while the General was stopping at the St. Cloud yesterday he was accosted by a reporter in regard to his speech at Bristol, when he explaned his reference to the Boss in the following words:— 'I II tell you what I did say. I said that the Independents made a mistake in magnifying Don Cameron and in making him fill the whole State of Pennsylvania. I said that they were right to fight him in the party, instead of running away like cowards," added the General with a scornful ring in his voice. "I did not say that Cameron was a 'small' man. I said he wasn't •■a big man but a little man,' referring of course to him physically." —Cheviott Shirtings from <;» cents a yard up at L.

Daubenspeck, Secretary, Bruin, Butler county, Pa. THE Independent Republican mill, says the Philadelphia Times, gets grist from the most unexpected sources. Bending the recent Congressional con vention at Erie, C. W. Mackey, the Venango county candidate for Con gress, ascertained that Cameron had written one or more letters in favor of the nomination of Watson, the Warren county candidate. Thereupon Mack ey, who had always been a faithful Cameron supporter, waxed wroth, threw his delegates to Brainard, the anti-Cameron Krie county candidate, thus giving him the nomination, and departed breathing sulphurous syntax at the head of the blonde Senator.

THE SIKZ ( AMI, History ot tli«' WKlerway Be tween (lie Mediterranean and Red Meaa. The great water wiy between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, owing to the war in Egypt, has of late again been brought prominently before the public. A short sketch of its history will, therefore, not be with out interest at the present moment. In almost prehistoric times, the eastern branch of the Nile and the Red Sea were united by a canal, made under Necbo and Ptolemy I'hiladelphus. Traces of it are still visable, but it is not known when it ceased to be a navigable communica tion. In modern times Napoleon 1., dur ing his sojourn in conceived the idea to reopen the canal between Cairo and Suez, and instructed the engineer, Lepere, to study the ques tion. Lepere found a difference of thirty feet in the level of the two seas* and although his measurements turned out wrong afterward, the plan was abandoned. In 184U, M. Linant de Bellefands ; in 1546, Efantin ; in 1847, M. Talabot and M. Barrault again proposed piercing the isthmus, but could not find anyone to listen to their projects. It was in December 1854, that M. de Lesseps first explored the desert aloug the isthmus and found the es tablishment of a canal feasible. To his indomitable energy it is due that the works were commenced in 1860, and the new waterway opened for traffic nine years later. During this time the harbor of Port Said, on the Mediterranean end, was constructed between two jetties of two and three thousand yards in length respectively. At Suez the Red Sea was sufficiently protected from adverse winds to dis pense with jetties and to inclose the canal between two quays. This supply of fresh water was of the utmost importance when more than twenty thousand laborers were employed in the construction of the canal, and is still a necessary of life for thy towns of Port Said, Ismailia and Suez, as well as for the engineer ing staff which keeps the canal in re pair and for the convenience of the shipping, considering that a supply of drinking water from wells can be ob tained at one or two places only. The tract of low-lying land con necting Africa with Asia extends about seventy miles from north to soul h, and is composed of shell lime stone rocks mixed with stratas of silicious limestone, and partly covered with sand or salt marshes. The deepest cuttiDgs had to be rande near El CJuisre, near Serapeuni and Chalouf. Evan distant from Port Said and Suez a new town, Ismalia, was built on the shores of Lake Timsah, to protect the outlet of a second canal, which carries the fresh water supply from the Nile, near Cairo, to t'ie isthmus, distribu ting the same in two branches to Suez and Port Said. England, who at first opposed the construction of the canal, has sinee be come fully alive to its political and commercial value as the shortest route to India, the distance between Bombay and London haying been reduced— compared with the route round the Cape—by about seven thousand miles. The number of vessels, the greatest part English, rose from 1,477 in 1879 to 2,727 in 1881. It is therefore a matter of grave anxiety whether the safety of the passage can be depended upon in a crisis like the present one. "BMclmpalba."

There is a host of liis age. to whom the thought of dying is as foreign as the idea of sharing the torment of the lost. In their thought, or thoughtlessness, death is adjudged the portion of old men and little children. Strong and vigorous, this host thinks their age a charmed period in which youth can scatter wilil oats, and which death dare not, invade. The departure of this young man, just at the opening of that ag» usually regarded as exempt from the ravages of death, must cause his com panions a moment's pause. A few months ago, he, abhorring idleness and thriftlessne s, was early and late engaged in his fathers mill. The storv of those months is brief. Diabetes melites siezed him. Hopes and fears make up the page of his history, whose conclusion was a general bidding of farewell. These days were spent in communing with God, in composing farewell verses, which the writer does not have to publish, hut which, in themselves exquisite, are precious to his parents. His departure, marked with many expressions of fearlessness, and ho|»e leaves to his loved ones the assurance that to him death is gain.
